The 2008 MX-5 Miata, popularly known as the Miata, is a two-door, two-passenger convertible sports car. It is sleek, capable and well-engineered. Since its debut nearly twenty years ago, the Miata has won the admiration of driving enthusiasts thanks to its drive ability and record for reliability. The power-retractable hardtop (PRHT) was added to this popular lineup last year. For 2008, the Mazda MX-5 Miata sees only minor feature changes, a new Special Edition trim level, and a five-horsepower drop for the Miata fitted with an automatic transmission.
